Diamondbacks Sign Dan Straily To Minor League Contract
The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed starting pitcher Dan Straily to a minor league free-agent contract with an invite to spring training, Straily last pitched for the Baltimore Orioles in 2019, where he posted a 9.82 ERA with 33 strikeouts across 47 2/3 innings pitched. While he does not possess any fantasy value at first glance, he may become a serviceable streamer in solid matchups if he is able to make the big league club.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily has been removed from the starting rotation and will be available in relief starting on Saturday. Manager Brandon Hyde is hoping that Straily can perform better in short spurts, and there's a chance he can work his way back into the rotation. The 30-year-old has been the least effective starter in the majors this year, going 1-4 with a 9.09 ERA, 1.99 WHIP, 18 strikeouts, 17 walks and 14 home runs allowed in 34 2/3 innings over nine outings (eight starts). If you were holding him in a deep AL-only league, you can let go of him now.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily turned in yet another poor start in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Yankees. Straily lasted four innings, allowing six runs on eight hits (including four home runs) and three walks with two strikeouts. The 30-year-old has not been good for the O's this season and now owns a mammoth 9.09 ERA with 14 HR allowed in 34 2/3 IP. He will face a more favorable matchup in his next start against the Tigers but has no business being owned or used by fantasy players.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily had another poor start in Thursday's 7-14 loss to the Indians. Straily lasted just 3 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on six hits (including a solo home run) and two walks with a strikeout. The 30-year-old now owns an abysmal 8.51 ERA with 10 HR allowed in 30 2/3 IP. Fantasy players should stay far away from him, regardless of who he is facing.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily fell to 1-2 in Friday's 7-0 loss to the Rays. Straily pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing five runs on nine hits (including a three-run home run) and three walks with two strikeouts. The 30-year-old has pitched poorly all season and now has a 7.43 ERA with eight HR allowed in 23 IP. He is slated to face another tough matchup against the Red Sox in his next start. At this point, Straily should not be owned or used in DFS, regardless of who he is facing.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily had a mediocre start in Saturday's Game One 6-5 loss to the Twins. Straily pitched five innings, allowing three runs on six hits (including three solo home runs) and three walks with four strikeouts. Things could have been much worse for Straily, given that all of the HR he allowed were just solo. The 30-year-old has now allowed a whopping seven long balls in just 14 2/3 innings pitched to go with an 8.59 ERA. He is slated to face the Twins on the road in his next start and should not be owned regardless of who he faces.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily rebounded nicely in Monday's 8-1 win over the Red Sox. Straily pitched five innings, allowing one run on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts. The 30-year-old now has a 10.24 ERA with two strikeouts, three walks, and four home runs allowed over 9 2/3 IP in his two starts with his new team. He is scheduled to face the Twins at home in his next start, and fantasy players should stay away from him.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily had a poor first outing for his new team in Wednesday's 10-3 loss to the A's. Straily pitched 3 1/3 innings, allowing five runs on eight hits (including two home runs) and no walks with no strikeouts. The 30-year-old was only recently signed, so he will need some time to get stretched out. Regardless, Straily has never been a great fantasy pitcher, posting a career 4.32 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and a 7.67 K/9 rate. Fantasy players should avoid him at least until he has gotten a few more innings of work under his belt. After that, he will need to show some signs of value before being considered.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily will make his debut with the team on Wednesday and start against the Athletics in place of Alex Cobb (back), who went back on the injured list Tuesday. Pitcher Josh Rogers is also being recalled from the minors and will be available to provide length after Straily on Wednesday. Straily isn't stretched out, so he's a poor DFS option against Oakland in his O's debut. The 30-year-old right-hander doesn't strike out many (career 7.7 K/9) and will be a poor season-long bet on a bad Baltimore team as well if he sticks around in the rotation.
John Means To Start Tuesday, Dan Straily To Work Out Of 'Pen
Baltimore Orioles pitcher John Means will get the start on Tuesday against the A's, while the O's will use Dan Straily in relief for the time being. The long-term plan is to have Straily work out of the rotation. Means will not be a recommended fantasy streamer on Tuesday, while Straily will be a very risky streamer in the deepest of leagues when he eventually starts working out of the rotation for an awful Orioles squad.
